He graduated from Trinity Lutheran School in 1992, then attended Luther High School North, graduating in 1996.
Scott worked at Walgreens for 25 years. He also drove for Uber and shared stories of customers requesting rides to Indiana and Michigan.
He was the grill master at family parties. He enjoyed bringing desserts, especially pies from Hoosier Mama. Scott always made time to talk with Aunt Dorothy and Aunt Shirley. He was a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan. He traveled with his brother to WrestleMania.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Daryl Kempster.
In the last years of his life, Scott experienced multiple health issues. He never stopped trying to overcome these challenges, and never stopped being kind, appreciative, and concerned for others.
On February 24th, God took Scott home to the place He prepared for him. Those who knew and loved him will miss him but are confident of a joyful reunion with him in heaven.
